POOR WIDOWS AND CHIMNEY SWEEPS...

And we're back in Dublin, mostly in one piece (!), after our assault on the South-East - Waterford, Kilkenny, Carlow, Wexford and Tipp - where eight (supposed) adults and eleven children introduced ourselves (!) to various venues and establishments in mostly flying visits (...not always our choice!) but, happy to say, we didn't loose any of our group. Not permanently, anyway...!

And, among other items on our list, is the blog post, and we'll be back here on Wednesday, 26th July 2023, with these few items :

Families out for a walk, in July 1914, on the Dublin Quays, had no idea of how the group of armed British soldiers, also on the Quays, were going to tell them how to disperse...

From 1955 - 'Imperial policy never changes unless it is forced by outside circumstances to change...'

A brilliantly confused famous Irishman (and 'Superman'!) talks about the Irish 'famine' and how it effected his family...

In Ireland, poor widows and helpless chimney sweeps do not, apparently, live in the real world...

From 1987 - "A veritable tidal wave of hysteria has been launched at the Irish people through the mass media ; a hate campaign against Irish republicans has been worked up day by day over the past two weeks..."

Thanks for droppin' by - hope ya check in with us again on Wednesday, 26th July 2023.

See yis then!

Sharon and the team.
